Classic Coke - Blood Rite

Release number six from breakout arts and label imprint Grade 10 comes from collective member Classic Coke; a high-energy, footwork four tracker set for release on vinyl on 7th November 2016. GTI006 ‘Blood Rite’ is the next in line from the Leicester / London based group; building on their reputation as a crew doing very exciting things for the underground right now. With their trademark combination of eclectic and raw sounds and striking visuals; the latest release delivers once again. Listen loud.

Blood Rite’s A-Side comes in the form of two fast-paced tracks pulling guidance from juke, footwork and beyond. The opening bars kick-start with Blood Rite’s aggressive rolling drums; all complimented with a jazzy trumpet call sitting comfortably atop of complex patterns. Huzzahh is equal parts high energy and smooth, with a keys led groove that is easy on the ears and takes listeners on a four minute journey through Classic Coke’s influences.

Flip the 12” onto GTi006’s B-Side and the pace slows with the vocals of Days 2 Weeks overdubbing a glitchy juke base. The multiple layers add the signature G10 rawness and depth to the third track from the EP. The final roller, B. Tru, is a twisted edit of an instantly recognisable 80s singalong combined with dancefloor ready drum snares. Blood Rite is a four-track dose of screwed vocal loop rounds and powerful BPM measures.

Grade 10 International is made up of eight very different artists, each with their own musical personality. From classical to footwork, the group are bonded not by genre, but by a desire to do something outside of the norm. 2016 has been a big year for them; from holding down their much loved Radar Radio show to playing at Outlook Festival and headlining the TATE Modern Turbine Hall opening, people are taking notice of the Grade 10 crew.

Classic Coke, Forever, Prayer, 8Ball, Loosewomen, Nokia Boys, Kollaps and Unslaved make up the family, with a designer who is responsible for all G10 artwork.
